While consultants working for KGHM Ajax pledged this week that the proposed cop-per and gold mine south of Aberdeen won’t pollute the air or poison food, they faced ques-tions about whether the corpo-ration will always do the right thing — particularly in tough economic times.

The corporation together with the provincial and fed-eral environmental-assessment agencies held a series of brief-ings for the public yesterday and Tuesday at the Coast Hotel and Conference Centre.

Bryan Leece, a toxicologist with consulting firm Stantec, said all his assumptions for the mine’s potential affects on human health come from information from fellow Stantec scientist Peter Reid, who headed the team modelling dust outfall.

Both men repeated ear-lier assurances in interviews in January, when KGHM Ajax’s 18,000-page application was made public and environmental assessment in the document found the mine will have little impact on air quality and, thus, human health.

For every potential impact

of a toxin or heavy metal, Leece said, “these are so far below the benchmark they don’t register on the radar.

“You’re really not seeing a change in health risk.”

Reid proclaimed the air qual-ity in Kamloops overall to be “good, amazingly good . . . We’re right up there — some of the best air quality around.”

Some of the best air quality within Kamloops is in Aberdeen, the only part of the city that will feel any significant impact from dust emissions at the mine, according to studies.

Nonetheless, Reid said, mod-els predict air quality at Pacific Way elementary, one of the clos-est parts of the developed city to the mine, “will remain better than other parts of the city.

“Pacific Way will likely have the cleanest air.”

Reid also displayed an ani-mation of a model showing dispersion of dust from the mine. Forecasts are based on a climate-modelling system that is reality-checked by comparing it to data from current testing stations.

On Tuesday, about 20 mem-bers of the public watched each of the earlier forums, which were scheduled simultaneously.

Several residents questioned assumptions that KGHM Ajax will follow through with pledges made to mitigate dust through an intensive watering program. Road dust is the major por-tion of the emissions, particu-larly harmful PM 2.5, which can cause heart and lung disease.

“The assumption we’ve made is they’ll [KGHM Ajax] follow up on that commitment,” Reid said.

Jack Rainey, a retired Highland Valley Copper miner who lives in Aberdeen, was seek-ing more than vague pledges from the company.

“I asked what do they do if all the water trucks are down or there’s no water for the trucks,” he said, noting such breakdowns happen “rarely” at Highland Valley.

Similarly, retired agrologist Graham Strachan asked what happens if the company cuts corners — something scientists acknowledged is not taken into consideration.

“You only get the results if everything is working tickety-boo,” Strachan said following the presentation.

“Who is watching that?”

KID IN THE HALLWith his sister in swimming lessons and the fieldhouse busy with track and field events, two-year-old London Rollo had the hallways at the Tournament Capital Centre all to himself during a weekend visit.

A Sun Rivers woman is calling on the Thompson-Nicola Regional District to find a way for residents of the golf-resort community to have their voices heard when it comes to issues like last November’s performing-arts centre referendum in Kamloops.

In a letter penned to the TNRD board of directors, L. Dawne Taylor questioned if there was not a way for Sun Rivers residents to weigh in on city issues like the referendum.

Sun Rivers is part of the Tk’emlups Indian Band (TIB) and outside City of Kamloops boundaries.

“Is there not a way that residents can have our voices heard on issues of concern to us?” Taylor wrote. “Is there not a provision that can be made for voting in referenda, without contravening the provisions of the Local Government Act?”

Mel Rothenburger, TNRD director for Electoral Area P, which includes Sun Rivers, said he doesn’t know the answers to all of Taylor’s questions, but noted the letter should make for an interesting discussion at TNRD’s meeting today.

“I certainly feel their pain,” Rothenburger told KTW.

“I think if anything can be done about it, it would have to be done on a case-by-case basis because, obviously, Sun Rivers is part of the TIB and is not going to become part of the city. It’s not going to be able to give its residents a vote in day-to-day city decisions.

“Whether or not there is some pos-sibility of them taking part in some-thing like the performing-arts centre referendum, if it should come up again, is the question.”

In her letter, Taylor noted many in Sun Rivers identify as Kamloopsians and make a monetary contribution to the city through service user fees paid to the City of Kamloops by the TIB.

She said residents have an interest in what happens in the city and the opportunity to weigh in is “a fundamental right in a democracy and something that ought not be simply brushed off because of legislative restrictions.”

According to the city’s assistant finance director Doug Stewart, however, it’s unlikely the service user fees Taylor refers to would ever be used to support something like a proposed performing-arts centre.

“It technically could, but I doubt we’d use it for that,” Stewart said. “I would say we likely wouldn’t, more so because it’s [the amount]

not significant enough.”The service user fee, which is valued at about $200 a year for each

dwelling in Sun Rivers, goes toward parks and recreation facilities. Two-thirds of the fees go to the city, while the other third is held in reserve for the TIB, for use by facilities on band land.

Rothenburger is grateful the letter was written, if only because it prompts discussion of the concern, of which he heard plenty toward the end of November’s referendum process.

“There would clearly have to be a political will between the city and the band to look at some form of agreement,” he said.

“I certainly think it’s worth exploring and anything the TNRD could do to facilitate that discussion, I think we should.”

Free transit during worldsGame-day ticket holders, partici-

pants and volunteers for next month’s International Ice Hockey Federation Women’s World Championship will be able to take advantage of free tran-sit, courtesy of the City of Kamloops.

Council has decided to provide free bus service for spectators and accredited participants when the championships come to the city in March.

“We think that by accessing tran-sit, this is going to allow the city to move freely and maybe free up the downtown core and the venues that we’re hosting at here,” event co-chair Jon Pankuch said.

Coun. Donovan Cavers was con-

cerned the additional riders may cause disruptions for regular bus riders.

“I know there’s an anticipated 50,000 people that will take in some of the games. I’m just a little worried about the potential impact on regular users of the system,” he said.

But, Coun. Denis Walsh said if the city can keep additional cars out of the downtown area and avoid creat-ing parking problems, it will be worth some transit annoyances.

“This is a huge, even a world, championship and we need to have a plan in place to transport people back and forth from these games,” he said.

Harper Mountain could be home to a new, signature mountain-biking trail as early as this spring.

The Thompson-Nicola Regional District will vote Thursday on a proposal to allocate $7,500 of federal gas-tax funds to the Kamloops Performance Cycling Centre (KPCC) for a proposed expansion to the Harper Mountain Trail Network.

The addition, a three-kilometre down-hill track will complement Ket’R Done, the 10-kilometre cross-country climb developed by the KPCC in 2015.

According to the organization’s board, the machine-built downhill track will be unlike anything currently on offer in the Kamloops area.

“We, in the fall, put in a really impres-sive climbing uphill trail and we’ve been cleaning up all the other trails, but it has left kind of a gap in some of the fea-

tures and whatnot,” said Cheryl Beattie, the KPCC board member spearheading the expansion on the mountain above Paul Lake and about 25 minutes from Kamloops.

“The cross-country people could ride to the top and then they could take this trail. You could take kids on it. It would just be a huge, signature trail in the area. It would be so popular.”

The KPCC manages 75 kilometres of trails in Kamloops, including those at Harper, at the Kamloops Bike Ranch in Juniper and in the Pineview Valley sys-tem.

The addition of the downhill to Harper’s 25-kilometre network comes with a price tag of $12,500, $5,000 of which the KPCC would contribute.

Beattie said the new downhill section would be accessible both at the end of Ket’R Done and by shuttling or biking Paul Lake Road to the trailhead.

“It would be just a great trail for all lev-

els of riders, too, and something unique in Kamloops. We don’t really have that kind of trail quite yet,” she said.

“The goal would be to make it so even a six-year-old could have a good time on a proper bike.”

The KPCC hopes to open the trail in the spring. The project will take about a month to complete and will begin once the snow clears and the ground thaws.

Should the request for funds be denied by the TNRD, Beattie said the KPCC will pursue other avenues of funding.

“We’ve made a commitment to start working on Harper. We’re trying to move it in a positive direction and clean it up — it’s beautiful up there, huge potential for riding,” she said.

“We just want to improve the area. It has just fallen in a bit of disrepair over the years.

“It’s really making a comeback now. “The goal is just to make it fun for

everyone.”

A defence lawyer representing the man-ager of a local cocaine ring argued yester-day his client should not go to jail.

The sentencing hearing for Steven Lloyd Currie marks the final chapter in a success-ful RCMP undercover operation that began in early 2012 and resulted in the arrest and conviction of seven of eight men involved.

The eighth, Christopher Bayer, is want-ed on an arrest warrant.

Earlier this week, Richard Crawford — the overall leader of the ring selling pow-dered cocaine in $50 and $100 quantities — was sentence to five years in prison.

The sentence was a joint submission from defence and Crown.

Four of five street-level drug couriers who drove around Kamloops in a desig-nated “work car” pleaded guilty to traffick-ing charges, each receiving some form of a conditional-sentence order with house arrest and terms of probation.

The cocaine wholesaler, Jean-Claude Auger, received a four-year prison sen-tence, despite undertaking a public reha-

bilitation that included a series of videos outlining his actions and changed life.

Defence lawyer Jordan Watt argued Currie — who has no criminal record — should also receive a conditional sentence order. Prosecutor John Walker recom-mended a four-year prison term. That gap between recommended sentences is unusually large.

Because the crime occurred before a tougher sentencing law introduced by the then-Conservative government, there is no mandatory prison term.

Currie, 30, pleaded guilty to a single charge of conspiracy to traffic cocaine, a higher-level charge than simple trafficking.

Beginning in early 2012, police obtained a series of judicial approvals allowing them to wiretap the phones of Currie and Crawford, as well as a dial-a-dope line manned by the five drivers.

Police also placed a tracking device on Currie’s BMW.

Through those texts and phone calls, they learned Currie acted as a go-between with Auger and the five drivers, collecting cocaine from the wholesaler in return for cash and reloading drivers with product.

“You can see from the beginning Mr. Currie’s role in making sure drivers have product,” Walker told B.C. Supreme Court Justice Hope Hyslop.

“He has leadership in the sense driv-ers report at the end of the shift as to how much they sold,”

In addition to having access to all the texts among couriers, Currie and Crawford, police also tailed some of the suspects and made drug buys as part of a sting.

Walker read a series of texts highlighting the kind of niggling complaints familiar to any small business.

Those included drivers complaining about a rude slacker on staff and asking Crawford, the drug ring’s owner, to get the manager, Currie, off their backs.

Currie, in turn, complained drivers were late with payment and for work, while he had no time off.

There was also constant banter between the manager and drug-ring leader that business was slow, with Crawford com-plaining he was behind on his mortgage payment and needed more business.

The sentencing hearing is scheduled to continue today.

Evergreen concern has no bearing on SD73

A recent Ministry of Education announcement addressing what it called a disproportionately high number of aboriginal students receiv-ing modified Evergreen certificates has little bearing on the Kamloops-Thompson board of education.

Supt. Karl deBruijn said the district years ago stopped putting children on modified programs that would lead to the certificate at the conclusion of sec-ondary education.

The certificates were created for students classified as special needs and who are learning based on an individu-al education plan (IEP). The announce-ment, something deBruijn said had been expected “for a long time,” came at the request of the First Nations Education Steering Committee, the B.C. School Trustees’ Association and the B.C. Teachers’ Federation. It was also recommended by the province’s auditor general last November.

The ministry announced the certifi-cates cannot be issued to students who don’t meet the two criteria of needs and an IEP.

DeBruijn said School District 73 teachers and administrators noticed

years ago when he worked in the student-services department that there were more aboriginal students being placed in modified programs.

Each case was reviewed and changed so those who were capable of studying the regular curriculum were moved into that educational stream.

If they needed some assistance, it was provided, deBruijn said.

A report given to trustees last week showed the six-year completion rate for aboriginal students has steadily increased in the district, reaching 73 per cent for the 2014-2015 school year, which is higher than the provincial rate of 63 per cent.

The percentage was composed of 176 aboriginal students graduating with a regular Dogwood certificate.

The 2014-2015 school year cohort in the district was composed of 242 aboriginal students — 123 males and 119 females. Off-reserve students num-bered 207 (71.5 per cent graduated) and on-reserve students totalled 35 (80 per cent graduated.

Graduation rates were 76.4 per cent for the male students and 79 per cent for the female students.

A former New Zealand politi-cian accused of drowning his wife while on vacation in B.C. in 2010 told police his first instinct when he heard her body splash into a Revelstoke-area lake was to grab his fishing rod.

The B.C. Supreme Court jury in Kamloops tasked with decid-ing Peter Beckett’s fate watched a 2.5-hour videotaped re-enactment on Tuesday, taped with Beckett on Upper Arrow Lake 10 months after his wife’s death.

Beckett, 59, is charged with first-degree murder in con-nection to the Aug. 18, 2010, drowning of Laura Letts-Beckett.

Her death on Upper Arrow Lake was initially ruled acci-dental, but a subsequent police investigation resulted in Beckett’s arrest one year later.

The Crown has alleged Beckett killed his wife out of greed, hoping to cash in on life-insurance and accidental-death benefits, as well as her school-teachers’ pension.

Court heard Beckett was flown from Alberta to Revelstoke in an RCMP jet on June 10, 2011.

He was then driven to Shelter Bay, on Upper Arrow Lake, where investigators took

him on a boat and had him painstakingly go over his ver-sion of events.

Beckett has claimed his wife fell off of their Zodiac dinghy. He has said he had his back to her when she fell.

Beckett said he could not get far enough underwater to rescue his wife, so he swam to shore, retrieved a rock and swam back out to her, where he used the stone to sink below the surface of the water and pull Letts-Beckett to shore.

In the video, Beckett called the rock a “negative buoyancy compensator.”

“My buoyancy is incredible,” he said. “I’m an incredibly, pos-itively buoyant person.”

Later, he suggested divine intervention helped him find the rock.

“I knew that I only had one chance to get the rock right,” he said. “This rock just appeared to me, like a spiritual thing.”

In the video, Beckett told investigators his first instinct when he heard the splash of his wife’s body hitting the water was to grab his fishing rod — something he called “fisher-man’s instinct.”

“When you hear a splash and you’re a fisherman, and you’re tuned into fishing, you think maybe a big one’s hit,” he said.

“I didn’t think she had fallen over. That’s not initially what

came into my head.”Investigators pressed Beckett

about the splash.“It sounded like somebody

jumping into the water,” he said. “I mean, that’s what it sounded like. If you jumped over now, it sounded like that.

“I thought I’d hit something or a big fish had jumped, which happens often on this lake.”

In the video, Beckett referred repeatedly to the detective driv-ing the police boat as “skipper.”

He also offered investigators lessons on the feeding habits of trout and the differences between igneous versus sedi-mentary rocks.

Beckett and Letts-Beckett met in 1995 in New Zealand. Five years later, he moved to Westlock, Alta., to be closer to her. The couple married in 2003.

Previous witnesses have described their relationship as rocky. The Becketts split briefly in late 2007, but reconciled months later.

Letts-Beckett also went to police alleging physical abuse on the part of her husband, but no charges were laid.

Through her questioning, defence lawyer Donna Turko has suggested Letts-Beckett was depressed prior to her drowning.

Beckett was formerly a city councillor in Napier, New Zealand. His trial, which began in mid-January, is expected to last three months.

BECKETT MURDER TRIAL

When wife fell in lake, accused killer grabbed his fishing rod

City wants your ideas for KDN siteHave ideas on what to do with the Kamloops

Daily News building?The City of Kamloops will begin accepting them

in March.Director of development and engineering servic-

es Marvin Kwiatkowski said staff are in the process of finalizing the language for an expression of inter-est process for the former newspaper headquarters on Seymour Street.

Because it’s a real-estate matter, council policy dictates councillors must review the wording first behind closed doors, Kwiatkowsi said.

Once council has signed off, most likely in the first week of March, it will be time for the public to formally make pitches about the building’s future.

In 2014, shortly after the Daily News folded, the

city purchased the property for $4.8 million, with plans to use the lot for off-street parking.

After a $90-million arts centre and underground parkade proposal failed to attract public support in last fall’s referendum, the city had planned to tear down the building and create more parking stalls until a long-term use for the property was found.

The demolition would have cost $1.1 million.Council voted earlier this year to leave the build-

ing standing for now and take suggestions for its use. One of those suggestions could include an alter-

native arts-centre plan, which Coun. Denis Walsh put forward on behalf of an as-yet-unnamed former planner. The plan would see the former KDN build-ing preserved for office and rehearsal space, with stages built on other portions of the lot.

Name fades into history

After some lengthy debate, the Kamloops-Thompson board of education opted this week to rename Beattie School of the Arts to McGill elementary when stu-dents and staff from Stuart Wood elementary move to Beattie’s McGill Road elementary campus in September.

Stuart Wood is closing at the end of the school year and students at Beattie’s elementary campus will move to the former John Peterson secondary on Ninth Avenue, where they will join high school students in cre-ating a K-12 arts school under a new name: Kamloops School of the Arts.

Two name recommendations for Beattie’s elementary building were presented on Monday, both generated from two polls of the school community — Beattie or McGill elementary.

One name, Beattie, has his-torical significance as it is named for the six daughters of Martin and Jean Beattie, all of whom taught in Kamloops from the late 1800s and into the 20th century.

The other name, McGill, is in line with board policy to name schools geographically, said superintendent Karl deBruijn.

Schools created in recent years have all followed the policy — Pacific Way, Parkcrest and McGowan Park elementaries, for example.

The board opted for the nam-

ing policy in 2008 and allowing school communities or staff to honour individuals for their contributions to the school com-munity through a plaque, framed photo or other prominent dis-play.

Because of the move and bringing together elementary and secondary campuses of Beattie School of the Arts, a deci-sion was made to rename the school, with the chosen mon-icker — Kamloops School of the Arts — edging out Kamloops Academy of Fine Arts, both of which were ideas born from school-community surveys.

DeBruijn said arguments against the “Academy” name included a lack of any other school in the city bearing the academy tag and a debate on the definition of fine arts.

Costs to change the names

should be minimal, deBruijn said.

While in past years there would be stationery costs, most communication today is digital, so a simple adjustment to appli-cations is required. Signage costs are anticipated to be low, he said, and there might be some other branding issues, such as new uniforms if existing ones bear the school’s former name.

Renovations at the Beattie secondary site to accommodate incoming elementary students are estimated to be about $1.5 million, a cost already been worked into the district’s budget, deBruijn said.

The board will also save money by no longer having to operate Stuart Wood, with the brick-clad heritage building and property owned by the City of Kamloops.

If there was ever a reason for Kamloops to rethink how it elects its municipal council, it can be found in the ongoing divisive

debate about pools and roads.Consider this argument pre-

sented last week, one of several I’ve heard since the city threw out for comment a question on the need to have pools in two neighbourhoods:

Why, the woman asked, should people who chose to live in a rural area — that would be Barnhartvale — demand improvements to a rural road when Brocklehurst and Westsyde need their pools?

On the other hand, I’ve had several conversations with a Westsyde resident who wants to know why the city is thinking about closing that area’s pool and replacing it with something many who live there have clearly indicated they don’t want.

Ditto for some Brock resi-dents; one woman who used to live next to the pool decried the city even thinking about shut-ting down an amenity that thou-sands of people use every year.

How does this relate to the way we elect our council? There is no one at city hall whose focus is to promote the needs of any of these areas. There is no one who lives in Westsyde who can speak from first-hand knowledge about the area.

There is no one from Brocklehurst to represent those folks.

Barnhartvale has no voice on council that is uniquely its own.

Westsyde residents think they

have a voice in Coun. Dieter Dudy, but at a recent meeting of the community association, questions were raised about where Dudy is as the people who live out there fight to keep their pool open.

At least one of the calls I’ve received asked the same ques-tion — why isn’t Dudy advocat-ing for his own neighbourhood?

Could it be due to the oft-repeated attitude city councillors represent all the people first?

For those who argue a ward system would pit neighbourhoods against each other, here’s the reality — it’s already happening.

Kamloopsians are taking shots at each other over which area should get or keep ameni-ties and improvements they believe they should have.

Returning to the pools-Todd Road improvement discus-sion, I suggested to the woman Barnhartvale may appear to be a rural area and, yes, it has a lot of large lots, but it’s still a part of the city and that road is not safe.

How, she asked, do I know?

Because I’ve walked it, I replied, to which she asked why.

The conversation dulled when I explained I did it to find out how bad Todd Road is, to see what it’s like for the people who live up there and have to use it regularly.

Sometimes you have to be familiar with an area to under-stand the issues there.

That’s why it’s time for Kamloopsians to start the conversation on ensuring all are treated on an equal basis because we all pay the same tax rate to the same building downtown.

There’s a reason why all the attention seems to go to the two retail districts in the city — Tranquille Market and the down-town core. Nobody is speaking up for the rest of the city.

Live in those areas and you get the great bus service. Businesses are encouraged to move there. Builders are urged to follow the city’s in-filling mantra.

The rest of us can live with the lousy service, with forever-for-sale retail, industrial and commercial sites and with pools that are left to deteriorate until they reach a point where, well, of course we need to shut them down.

We can live with no sidewalks and, for those in Barnhartvale, no curbs, either.

We can live with having two classes of citizens because there’s no one with any clout saying it’s wrong.

VIEWPOINT

Warming to ward system

IT ALL STARTED WITH A PINK SHIRT

You have to wonder if, back in 2007 while David Shepherd and Travis Price were buying a stack of 50 pink shirts, the pair could have imagined their bullying protest would spread around the world.

Probably not. They were just trying to support a fel-low student who was bullied for wearing a pink shirt on the first day of school. Next Wednesday, Feb. 24, for the ninth year, communities across Canada will celebrate Pink Shirt Day (or Anti-Bullying Day, if you prefer).

It’s been five years since the United Nations took a stand and pro-claimed May 4 International Anti Bullying Day.

That’s pretty good return for the purchase of a stack of cheap T-shirts.

Why do people, especially kids, bully others? There are so many reasons that it would

never be possible to find one answer that would fit all situations. What is common, however, is their victims. Bullies have a knack for finding the kids that are unlikely to retaliate.

And they chose them because the victim is different — skin colour, nationality, size, hair

colour, shape of the nose, you name it, even the colour of shirt they choose to wear.

Anyone who has been bullied knows the old adage, “sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me” is far from the truth. Name-calling and more aggressive forms of bullying do leave marks, marks that affect the victim for years to come.

It’s a lot to ask from some pink shirts, but the annual reminder about the problem of bullying does offer hope our cultures may finally be growing up.

Let’s hope the word continues to spread.Bullying will likely never be wiped out completely, but we can hope

to reduce its hold on society, as has been done with the once-socially acceptable drinking and driving.

RE: STORY: FIVE YEARS IN PRISON FOR MAN WHO RAN COCAINE RING IN KAMLOOPS:

RE: HASTINGS COLUMN: JAMMED BY THE JAWLINE AT SPEED-DATING SOIRÉE:

“I must confess I am rarely interested in Marty’s subject matter (sports), but the more I read his columns, the more I enjoy them.

“He may not be winning the ladies, but he is gaining fans for your writing.”

RE: STORY: CITIES WANT FEWER SURPRISES WITH RCMP POLICING:

“Kamloops should go back to having its own police force.

“B.C. also should dump the RCMP and bring back the pro-vincial police.”

Editor:Re: The Jan. 20 KTW article regarding city

council’s discussion about park-maintenance costs (‘Lange: Get rid of a few of the parks’):

I am writing this letter as an individual Rotarian and in no way presume to speak for any of the Rotary clubs in Kamloops.

In the article in question, Coun. Denis Walsh is quoted as saying the city should ask the Rotary Club of Kamloops to pay a larger fee to present Ribfest, as in his words: “To me, these guys are making out like bandits.”

I feel saddened by Walsh’s statement, not because of his less-than-kind analogy, but because his words make it evident we Rotarians have manifestly failed at informing the public as to who we are and what we do with the pro-ceeds of events like Ribfest.

Rotary has a long, proud history in Kamloops, with the Rotary Club of Kamloops (of which I am a member) being founded 96 years ago.

Many of Kamloops’ facilities have been

sponsored by the various clubs here, includ-ing the Rotary Bandshell, the Rotary Skatepark and the McQueen Lake Environmental Centre, which was spearheaded by Rotarian and Order of Canada recipient Ralph Shaw. I’m proud to say my grandfather, Ray Serl, was a member of Shaw’s club when the environmental centre was launched back in 1972 and was active in getting those facilities up and running.

With specific regard to Ribfest, the organiz-ing club is Kamloops Daybreak and not the Rotary Club of Kamloops, as the article errone-ously claims.

While I am not privy to Ribfest’s financial details, I do know what community groups and initiatives Daybreak helps fund.

They include Big Brother Big Sisters, Kamloops Sports Council, Interior Grasslands Cycling Club, Operation Red Nose, Kamloops Food Bank, Breakfast for Babies, Boys and Girls Club, Pit Stop, Thompson Rivers University, YMCA/YWCA, Toys for Kids, Out of the Ashes, Cops for Kids, RIH Foundation, Rotaract,

Developing World Connections, Smart Start, Kamloops Hospice, Kamloops Broncos, Kamloops Community Football Society, KMFC, Girl Guides of Canada, Interior Freeze Athletics and Atmosphere Jump Start.

Looking at this list, one can see there is vir-tually no aspect of Kamloops not touched by the proceeds from Ribfest and that the city’s magnanimous fee for using the park is more than recompensed by the good Daybreak does with Ribfest’s proceeds.

Once again, apologies for how we Rotarians have been remiss in letting the community know why we have historically been given pref-erential rates on use of facilities.

It would be my pleasure and privilege to invite Walsh to be my guest at one of our club meetings so he may gain firsthand knowledge about Rotary. We meet Mondays at noon at Hotel 540 in downtown Kamloops.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Editor:I was among those who lined up at

Lloyd George elementary on Sunday, Feb. 14, in an attempt to register for the French immersion program.

I arrived just after 11 p.m. and was told people started lining up at 1 p.m.

Apparently, by the time we arrived, the available spots were already taken, but that was not confirmed until the principal arrived the next morning at 7 a.m.

My daughter and nephew were students at Lloyd George in the first year of French immersion in Kamloops.

At that time, it was our right

to have our children educated in French. After all, that is one of our country’s official languages.

Now I am told that for my grand-children, this is now a school of choice.

When did we lose that right? I am in favour of schools of choice,

but just because a parent is an art-ist or a scientist doesn’t mean their child has a right to go to an arts- or science-based school.

Our family is French and we do have a right to expect a French edu-cation in Canada.

While Thompson Rivers University Faculty Association (TRUFA) president Tom Friedman isn’t optimistic further talks will help resolve his union’s issues with the university’s administration, the school’s president, Alan Shaver, is more hopeful.

Shaver said he knows what it means to be a professor, having been one for more than three decades before being hired to head Thompson Rivers University.

Many in administration were also professors at one time, Shaver said, and they all want their faculty “to have great careers, to be wonderful teachers. That’s our DNA.”

Collegial governance was a major issue in the recent collective-bargaining talks between the faculty association and the administration.

Friedman said an improvement in the role faculty plays in running the university wasn’t obtained in the contract both sides have voted to accept, a document created by mediator Mark Brown, who decided reso-lution was impossible.

He wrote a set of recommended contract clauses and directed both sides to vote on them.

“No one in administration has acknowledged the need for collegial governance,” Friedman said.

Shaver, however, countered faculty has “a high level of engagement in all things academic, a very long list.”

He went on to note Brown’s recommendation that both sides address the issue in the coming months is a chance “to establish where there is opportunity for faculty to have more impact.”

Although his union voted 91 per cent to approve the new contract, which covers a five-year period from April 1, 2014, to March 31, 2019, that vote doesn’t mean they were happy, Friedman said,

“We made it clear this is as good as we can get right now,” he said of the message he gave faculty. “They just wanted to put all the uncertainty behind them, but this wasn’t a settlement. The mediator ended up deciding.”

Friedman said two positive components include raising the sessional (part-time instructor) course rate to $6,200 in 2018 — they now are paid $5,200 per course — and establishing an ad hoc committee to address workload.

That committee, Shaver said, will be composed of deans and chairs who will look at “where things are working and why they’re working,” to determine if they can be transferred to other areas to improve teaching, scholarship and service.

Throughout bargaining, TRUFA pursued its con-cern administration at TRU has grown exponentially since the university was created in 2005, while faculty growth has been minimal. Friedman said in the past decade, the number of administrators has increased by 186 per cent and the associated cost has grown by 350 per cent.

Shaver said one area of immediate growth in administration came in 2007 when TRU absorbed the Open Learning division, which came with many administration positions.

Its 150 faculty is represented by its own union, which reached a contract settlement in January 2015. The 400 members of the Canadian Union of Public Employees at the university settled last September.

Shaver noted statistics from the Canadian Association of University Business Officers show that of 10 B.C. universities studied, TRU was tops in aca-demic expenditures (65.3 per cent) and fourth of10 universities in administrative and general expendi-tures, all of which was achieved despite TRU having the same block grant as the previous year.

“It’s been going on for a decade and it’s extremely challenging,” he said.

There’s only room for one Tournament Capital of Canada, according to Kamloops Mayor Peter Milobar.

But an $85-million renova-tion to Rexall Place could make Edmonton the Tournament Capital of Canada, accord-ing to Northlands CEO Tim Reid, who made the announcement yesterday at a press conference.

“They would be in for a surprise if they try to pursue the official tagging, given that we do have those slogans trademarked,” Milobar said.

The City of Kamloops registered the Tournament Capital of Canada trademark in March 2002 and the logo, designed by Vaughn Warren, became the symbol of Kamloops.

Reid suggested the Tournament Capital of Canada slogan during the unveil-ing of Northlands’ plans for Vision 2020, which involves morphing Rexall into the Northlands Ice Coliseum, a large-scale facility that would include seven sheets of ice.

The Edmonton Oilers will be leaving Rexall Place later this year for a new down-town arena.

Milobar flippantly tweeted a reply — “. . . in for a shock when they try to register the name #Kamloops is already Canada’s Tournament Capital” — to Reid’s claim and the mayor is just having fun with it, for now.

“It was more a lighthearted way to let them know we already are the Tournament Capital of Canada and that we are semi-serious in that we do take our branding seriously,” Milobar said of his tweet.

“Maybe he [Reid] had it in his mind after all the great coverage we got from Hockey Day in Canada and being that we’re also hosting the [2016 Women’s World Hockey Championship]. Maybe the catchiness was stuck in his head.

“I didn’t take it as them starting a rebranding exercise. I understand the con-text in which it was said.”

There has been no indication the City of Edmonton has considered adopting the

tagline and several news reports say the slo-gan proposed by Northlands is the Hockey Tournament Capital of Canada.

As for the addition of the word “Hockey” and how that relates to copy-right, Milobar said that would be left to

trademark lawyers to figure out. Last April, Edmonton city council voted

to remove the City of Champions slogan from seven Welcome to Edmonton signs and Mayor Don Iveson said the city had entered a “post-slogan era.”

The City of Champions tagline was adopted following the devastating tornado of July 31, 1987, that killed 27 people.

Then-mayor Lawrence Decore likened the response of the community as that of a “city of champions.”

The slogan has since been linked to the numerous Stanley Cups and Grey Cups won by the city’s hockey and football teams, respectively.

The motto had become a lighting rod for ridicule, given the NHL club’s well-docu-mented struggles following the dynasty era of the 1980s.

“I wouldn’t want to get in the midst of all that,” Milobar said when asked about Edmonton’s decision to nix the moniker.

“With their last draft pick in Mr. McDavid, they may be wanting to revisit that sooner than later, in terms of the Oilers reclaiming their glory. I’ll leave that to Edmonton to figure out.”

The City of Champions slogan was van-dalized in October of 2013 and covered up on six city signs.

“Suck it Calgary,” “City of Speed Traps” and “Road Construction City” were among the new slogans that were cleaned up by city crews.

If Edmonton city council does decide to pursue a new tagline, there’s one they can cross off their list, Milobar said.

“They can consider it all they like, but we have it protected, so they can’t use it,” he said. “It would be kind of like them wanting to rename themselves Coke or McDonald’s.”

Aris Anagnostopoulos had no intention of freezing the puck.

When the biscuit came to the Thompson Blazers goaltender with time winding down in the third period against the Greater Vancouver

Canadians, the empty cage yawning at the other end, he had only one thing in mind — shoot.

Anagnostopoulos sailed the puck over Blazers and Canadians alike — still collecting themselves after the neutral-zone faceoff — and landed it at the far blue-line. It slid down

the ice, off the post and into the net.

As his teammates dogpiled him in the Thompson crease, the goaltender realized he had joined just a hand-ful of hockey greats — the goaltender had scored a goal.

“It was a relief, espe-cially in my third year of midget and my 12th year of hockey, maybe one of my last years,” Anagnostopoulos told KTW.

“A big relief that it actually happened, thinking that maybe it wouldn’t have.”

The goal had been a longtime dream of Anagnostopoulos’, implanted in a youth watching NHL greats like Ron Hextall, Martin Brodeur and Chris Osgood do the same.

Saturday after-noon, with 54 sec-onds remaining in Thompson’s 4-2 victory over the Canadians, the 18-year-old joined exclusive company.

“All the greats have done it,” Anagnostopoulos said. “It’s kind of cool to go

up as one of those.”The puck, as well

as the goalie stick that shot it, have now been retired.

“Guys that are in the NHL right now even, that are star goalies, haven’t scored a goal in their whole career.

“It’s kind of cool to do something that some people haven’t.”

It’s not just

NHL greats Anagnostopoulos now has bragging rights over — officials with BC Hockey don’t believe any other goal-ie had accomplished the feat in B.C. Major Midget League history.

The goal coincided with the Blazers’ first four-point weekend since 2012.

Though the club

has already missed out on the playoffs this season, head coach Don Schulz said the weekend is a positive note in Thompson’s soon-to-conclude sea-son.

As Anagnostopoulos’ play has been.

“I never really gave it much thought that he would, firstly, attempt, and be suc-

cessful,” Schulz said of the goal.

“It’s good on him. It kind of topped off a very strong effort that he had had during the game.

“I think he faced 60-some shots and we managed to come out with a 4-2 victory. Obviously, he was a major factor in our success.”

ARNOLD OSBORNE DAWSON

January 18, 1936 - February 10, 2016Born in Smith Falls, Ont.

It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of Arnold Dawson at Kamloops hospital after a courageous fight with cancer and pneumonia. He leaves to mourn, his wife Pat of 46 years, daughter Jennie Dawson, sons Dale Dawson and Derry (Kyla) Dawson, grandsons Tanner and Bradley and granddaughter Hailey, sisters Joyce Davis and Judy (Bill) Budau of Ontario plus numerous nieces, nephews and family in B.C. and Ontario. He was predeceased by his dad John, mom Eva and sisters Jean Holland and Gwen Youde.

Camping and fishing with family and friends and enjoying the odd “cool one” on a hot day was a precious part of his life. “Bush Creek” and “Humamilt Lake” were just the very “BEST!”

Working as a mechanic in the East, Port Alberni, Kamloops and Chase, then for himself with Chase Towing and later for Mattey Bros., he had a busy life but a good one with many friends along the way. He also spent a few years driving the school bus in Chase where he enjoyed all the students.

Gambling trips were a fun part of his life and even the short day trips to nearby casinos were great.

A Celebration of Arnold’s Life will be held on Saturday February 20th at 11:00 am at the Chase Community Hall with refreshments to follow.

Should friends desire please donate to the Children’s Hospital.

GEOFF PENNYTo Geoff’s friends and acquaintances: We regret to inform you that Geoff passed away suddenly on February 8th, 2016.

Geoff had a strength of character that was evident in the way he lived his life. He was a devoted husband to Fran and an inspirational Dad to his three children Errol, Evelyn and Ian. He was Gran’pa

Penny to his six grandchildren Kelsey and Cassidy (Errol), Nova and Dax (Evelyn and Ian Bishop), Clara and Nolan (Heather and Ian Penny).

He was born in Cape Town, South Africa, into a close-knit family. He was a brother to Pat, Ann, and Barbara.

In the 60’s, his strong sense of adventure saw him travelling by scooter or in a Gazetta, throughout Europe and Scandinavia. When he explored Turkey, Syria, Jordan and Israel, his mode of transportation was his thumb.

After he retired from the electrical department at Weyerhaeuser Pulp Mill, he became a snowbird, and spent his time bobbing around the Sea of Cortez on the Baja in a twelve foot zodiac doing what he loved: fishing. “The Big Ones” didn’t get away. To his Baja friends his nickname was Mr. Fix-It. He gave a willing hand to anyone who needed something repaired.

No service by request. There will be a family gathering in August.

“He didn’t follow where the path led, but blazed his own trail.”

STEVE GEORGE KOROLL

December 7, 1941 - February 10, 2016

Steve George Koroll was freed of his pain February 10, 2016. Born December 7, 1941 on

the family homestead near Ranger, Sask., delivered by his father’s hands, the ninth of ten children for George and Katrina Koroll; Ukrainian immigrants to Canada. Steve was extremely proud of his heritage often referring to himself as a “purebred”. At 6 years of age the family left the farm and moved to Chatham, Ont. where he received his education. At 17 he left school to venture west with a buddy, making it all the way to Vancouver and Mayo, Yukon. While in Northern Alberta visiting family he met his future wife Cassie. They married in October 1962, spending 53 years together raising three sons and working hard to be each other’s better half.

Steve was always incredibly industrious, starting his working life at 8, picking dew worms to sell to the fishermen on Lake Erie. Then graduated to delivering papers, setting bowling pins, working on strawberry, tobacco and sugar beet farms, while still in school. Always earning his own pocket money.

Steve and Cassie spent their first ten years in Grande Prairie, Alberta, where all three sons

were born. This is where Steve learned his painting trade under a master painter. The young family moved to Kamloops in 1971. Here he worked for a couple of companies before becoming self-employed as Koroll Kolor; which he did for 28 years. Steve held a high standard of excellence for his trade, and was well regarded by his customers for his integrity, work ethic and quality of work. He enjoyed his working life immensely and the good life it afforded his family – his major mission in life.

Over his lifetime Steve loved to work out at the gym and enjoyed fishing, camping, cards, dancing, golf, slow-pitch, and curling. He especially enjoyed the family and friends he shared them with. He loved nature, both plant and animal.

Steve was a devoted family man. Spending endless hours coaching and watching soccer games, teaching his boys to fish, swim and dive. Countless predawn trips to deliver his boys and friends to Todd and Harper ski hills and back at 6 o’clock. He raised his sons to be courteous, kind, responsible, hard working men. An extremely involved, loving, but firm, father to his sons.

Steve will be forever missed by his loving wife Cassie, sons Mark (Shelly), Chad (Stephanie), Bret (Peggy), two treasured grandchildren Kenysha and Kolton, four step-grandchildren Jennifer, Hayley, Allan and Taejha.

Predeceased by parents, all siblings and their spouses, but sister Irene (St. Thomas,

Ont.), daughter-in-law Amanda and baby Kierdan, brothers-in-law Wally, Cecil and Ross, sisters-in-law Bernice and Hazel all from Cassie’s family whom he loved and considered all the extended family his own.

Steve talked to everyone and loved to make people laugh. He will leave a huge void in his family.

A life well lived with hard work, honesty and laughter.

To Dr. Wiltshire – you are a most compassionate and capable doctor and a credit to your field. Our family felt your care and concern for Steve and will never be forgotten. Louise – receptionist also went out of her way to make this long hard journey easier. Thank you both.

Our deepest appreciation must be passed to Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice; you helped guide us through a most difficult time.

No service by request.

In lieu of flowers donations in Steve’s name may be made to Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice, 72 Whiteshield Cres, South Kamloops, BC V2E 259.

NATIONAL NEWS

MONTREAL — Bombardier announced yesterday it will eliminate 7,000 positions over two years — more than a third in Canada — in the latest effort by the country’s largest aerospace company to turn itself around as it awaits word of federal aid.

The Montreal-based firm said the layoffs will include 2,830 jobs in Canada, including 2,400 in Quebec.

Nearly half of all the cuts would be at Bombardier Transportation, its rail division, which will lose 3,200 jobs.

The news resulted in an immediate call for federal assistance from the province’s premier.

“I want to reiterate that there is no way — no way — that the federal government should not invest in Bombardier, in the CSeries,’’ Philippe Couillard said in Quebec.

“If the auto industry has

been supported by taxpayer money, which is fine, then the aeronautical industry of Montreal needs also to be supported.’’

Bombardier employs about 74,000 people around the world, according to its website.

The cuts will be partly offset by hiring in certain areas, particularly as Bombardier plans to ramp up production of the new CSeries jets, the company said. Layoff notices are expected to be issued in the coming weeks and completed by next year.

No job losses are anticipated at the company’s commercial aircraft business segment, which supplies airlines with passenger planes including the CSeries, which Bombardier has had trouble selling.

Amid the bad news, there was a sign that Bombardier could be reviving its fortunes: a letter of intent that could see Air Canada buy 45 CSeries 300 planes, with an option to buy up to 30 more.

“We are delighted to

announce this important agreement with Bombardier for the purchase of CS-300 aircraft as part of the ongoing modernization of Air Canada’s narrow-body fleet,’’ Calin Rovinescu, Air Canada president and CEO, said in a statement.

“With its high fuel efficiency performance and greater seating capacity, the next-generation technology of the C Series is very well-suited for our current and future network strategy and will be an extremely efficient addition to our fleet.’’

Bombardier CEO Alain Bellemare said the company is reviving its fortunes.

“We are turning Bombardier around,’’ he said during a conference call. “We have a plan to make this great company stronger and more competitive.’’

The CSeries is Bombardier’s new generation of aircraft for commercial airlines, in development for more than a decade as an alternative to smaller-model passenger jets.

BUSINESS

ROSS MAROWITS THE CANADIAN PRESS

CALGARY — Canada’s food safety watchdog has announced a recall of some raw pork products in Alberta due to possible E. coli contamination.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency said the recall involves products produced by Hillview Meat Processor that were distributed to seven stores in Calgary.

The products include raw fresh or frozen meat cuts, ground pork, sausages, and ready-to-eat products.

The agency said consumers

should not eat these products and restaurants, retailers, distributors and manufacturers should not serve or use them.

The CFIA said the recall was triggered by an investigation into people getting sick, but no illnesses have been definitively linked to the products.

E. coli O157:H7 can cause symptoms including nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps and bloody diarrhea.

In severe cases people may have seizures or strokes, suffer permanent kidney damage or die.

VICTORIA — The BC Coroners Service confirms that a second foot found washed up near Port Renfrew on the west coast of Vancouver Island is human and matches another foot that was found several days earlier in the same area.

The first foot was found by a hiker on Feb. 7 and a second running shoe containing a foot was found last week.

The Coroners Service said it appears both feet separated naturally from the rest of the body due to

prolonged immersion in water and there is no indication of trauma or mechanical severance.

Efforts are now under way to try to identify the individual concerned and determine a cause of death using DNA testing.

Fourteen feet have now washed up along the B.C. coastline since 2007. The BC Coroners Service has identified 10 of the previous 12 feet, belonging to seven individuals.

He leaves to mourn his wife June, sons Kerry (Marie-Claude) and Randy (Cheryl) and granddaughters Julianna, Taylore and Jessa. He also leaves to mourn his sister Charlene (Don) Moore and his brother-in-law Chick Stewart and three sisters-in-law, Rosalie, Wanda and Ann Reinbolt and many nieces and nephews. Also his special cousins Mickey (Marion) Bleskie and Marian Dolman as well as many friends, all of whom he was so fond of.

He was predeceased by his parents Mike and Nancy Czorny, sister Marilyn Stewart and niece Natalie Moore. Also his mother-in-law and father-in-law Frank and Julianna Reinbolt, sisters-in-law Peggy Reinbolt

and Beth Kennedy, brothers-in-law Frank, John, Joe and Fred Reinbolt and Todd Kennedy.

He was born in Glendon, AB, and his Father was a sectionman for the C.N. Railway. He spent his growing up years moving between Jasper and Blue River with his family. They moved to the Chilliwack area and finally to Fort Langley where he spent most of his teen years and graduated there in 1954. He moved to Smithers in 1955 and started his career there as a Trainman for C.N. Railway. It was there that he met June in 1960 and they were married in October, 1961. They moved to Jasper in the spring of 1962 where he continued working as a trainman and raising their two sons until 1981 when they moved to Kamloops. He enjoyed his years in Jasper golfing, fishing, watching the boys play hockey and travelling on hockey trips when he could get away. He spent many winters enjoying downhill and cross country skiing with June and friends. They also enjoyed summers hiking around Jasper. He took great pride in the trimming of his hedge, especially when the tourists stopped to pose for pictures in front of it. After moving to Kamloops he continued working as a trainman until his retirement on October 31st, 1990. After his retirement he enjoyed more hiking and golf. He then got into the computer world and spent many enjoyable hours working on the family trees for the family. When the granddaughters came along, he cherished every minute he had with them.

He enjoyed spending many hours searching for and copying pictures of the old steam engines and reminiscing about the “good old days” with his railroad buddies on their “coffee breaks”.

He was so grateful to N.P. Natalie Manhard for her exceptional care this past 4 years and to Dr. Hamilton. We thank them and the staff at the Marjorie Willoughby Hospice Home for their tender loving care and for making his last days more comfortable.

We will have a Celebration of Life at a later date. In lieu of flowers, we ask you to kindly make a donation to the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice Home, 72 Whiteshield Cr., South, Kamloops, BC V2E 2S9.

Condolences may be expressed to the family from www.kamloopsfuneralhome.com 250-554-2577

TORONTO — Trend watchers, chefs and foodies alike stand united on vegetables — once lowly or overlooked as a side, they’re being elevated to a starring role.

Christine Couvelier says 2015 was an amazing year for vegetables and the root-to-leaf movement will continue in 2016 with more creative preparations, from grilling and smoking to roasting and charring.

“We thought seeing whole roasted cauliflowers was a wow on some menus, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg,’’ says the Victoria-based Couvelier, whose Culinary Concierge company helps clients around North America keep ahead of market trends.

“I think it’s a continuation on understanding fresh and local and being very innovative and creative in the kitchen,’’ she says.

“I think a lot of it also is consumers’ understanding the health benefits around that style of eating, too. We’re not saying not to have meat but all in proportion and looking to vegetables to fill a great deal of the plate.’’

Couvelier recently noshed on “spectacular’’ grilled rainbow carrots with creme fraiche and pistachio carrot-top pesto at Vendemmia in Seattle.

Quebec celebrity chef Ricardo Larrivee has found brussels sprouts on many restaurant menus, including roasted and presented at the table on the stalk with vinegar syrup and grated cheese.

Donna Dooher, president and CEO of Restaurants Canada, says the nation’s eaters have moved

beyond the kale revolution.“It was kale on everything,

kale this and kale that, kale chips. I think squash is going to come back with gangbusters. There’s so many varieties. It’s easy to grow here in Canada.’’

Larrivee predicts the comeback of the Jerusalem artichoke, or sunchoke.

The gnarly tuber can be served as a puree and in soup, and its yellow flowers make a colourful addition to the garden.

Couvelier also sees hummus emerging as the new salsa, juice bars as the new coffee shops, and fried chicken being the new pork belly.

Fried chicken, often paired

with waffles, can feature different seasonings and be made spicy, sweet, brined or crusted.

High in protein and fibre and low in fat, hummus can be an appetizer, dip, spread or part of a main course.

“It’s recognizable in its original form and accepted, so now people are branching out and they’re eager to try something different,’’ says Couvelier, who’s had black bean hummus, edamame hummus with roasted red peppers, spicy yellow lentil hummus and, her favourite, a zesty Sriracha carrot hummus.

Increasingly popping up on restaurant menus is toast.

“It is certainly a very innovative

dish to develop recipes and thoughts around. I’m watching it as the ingredient of the year,’’ says Couvelier.

“A lot of restaurants I’ve been in in the last six or nine months, they have great toast offerings.’’

She’s had pickled anchovies and tomato toast and smoked chicken and walnut Waldorf toast at Steak Bird Provisions in San Francisco.

Purple Pig in Chicago has a menu section called Smears, with toast and toppings including roasted bone marrow, liver pate, or pork neckbone gravy with ricotta.

“It can be any time of day — breakfast, lunch, snacking,

appetizer, for dinner. You can share it,’’ she says of eating toast.

Restaurateurs are also embracing more customer choice.

“We now see the phenomenon of what we call the clockless menu, so ‘I want to eat when I want, what I want, where I want 24-7.’ All-day breakfast is huge right now and we’re seeing that creep into the dinner service as well,’’ says Dooher.

Operators are also deconstructing the plate, then charging for each item separately.

“Everything is about construct your own: Construct your own burger, construct your own risotto, construct your own dinner.’’

Food trends for 2016: Innovative veggie dishes, sweet-heat combos and bone brothToast is surging in popularity, the ‘kale revolution’ is over and hummus is the new salsaLOIS ABRAHAM THE CANADIAN PRESS Don’t call it a comeback. Toast has been here

for years. But, according to Victoria-based concierge Christine Couvelier, the go-to breakfast staple is now a popular item on restaurant menus.

Amanda Eccleston showcases her aqua-blue and purple teapots in her Sahali home-based The Clay Chimera Studio. The local artist was recently recognized for outstanding achievement in craft and design.

DAVE EAGLES/KTW

She honed her craft — experimenting with a style since compared to bar-nacles and Alice in Wonderland — and went on to win the Helen Pitt Fund for Fine Arts Graduating Year Award, decided on by the TRU arts depart-ment.

Eight years later, Eccleston has received a Mayor’s Award for the Arts, which she tied for with renowned carver Vaughn Warren, for outstanding achievement in the craft and design category.

“I was elated that they gave it to both of us,” Eccleston said. They received the award on Jan. 30 at the annual Mayor’s Gala for the

Arts and KTW recently caught up with Eccleston at her Sahali home, where she operates The Clay Chimera Studio.

Her work adorns her front entryway — much of the art she gave to her husband before they moved in together — and her workspace is on that lower-level of her home, constructed, in part, from cabinets salvaged after kitchen renovations. Her newer cupboards, upstairs, are filled with mugs she has created because her pottery is fully functional — microwave-, oven- and dishwasher-safe.

After graduating from TRU in 2008, the Lillooet native bought a wheel and kiln and created pottery on a part-time basis, while odd jobs supple-mented her income.

Eccleston recalled days spent working at a cafe and others filming for the Kamloops Arts Council. She managed an art gallery in Aberdeen, rearrang-ing the walls with large prints from artists like Robert Bateman, until it shut down and Eccleston was laid off.

It was then the young artist sought advice from a career counsellor and signed up for a free self-employment program through employment insur-ance and Community Futures.

Amanda Eccleston barely passed her first clay class at Thompson Rivers University.

“Even though I didn’t do well, it was one of my favourite classes to make work for,”the 30-year-old artist said. “I just loved making it.”

She bounced between painting and clay before ultimately focusing her fine-arts degree on the three-dimensional form, following advice from an instructor who encouraged her to go further with “organic and frilly things,” she said.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

She didn’t love the busi-ness end of art at first, but soon Eccleston found that putting things like start-up costs, equipment inventory and future goals down on paper were beneficial as she grew into an entrepreneur.

“When I look back at the business plan I did for Community Futures, I have achieved most of the goals I did in the plan,” Eccleston said.

Her resume is lengthy.Those interested in seeing

her famed aqua blue teapots can find her work on display and for sale at the Kamloops Art Gallery — but she is no stranger to Chazou Gallery, the Kamloops Arts Council and Art in the Park.

And, she shows no sign of slowing down.

Eccleston will take her work on the road for the Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo in April and make her way up to Sun Peaks this year for A Taste of Art.

She will pick up teaching again in 2016, too, something she once found challenging due to anxiety.

“I stopped drinking cof-fee and it’s all good,” she said with a laugh.

While Eccleston looks forward to taking a couple of students under her wing, the self-described introvert finds solace in working alone at her home studio.

Her day-to-day routine involves getting up, having breakfast, feeding her birds and starting work around noon, continuing pieces she began the day before or throwing new ones, attaching handles or decorating.

She makes about 40 items at once and it takes six to eight weeks to complete them all, but she will spend about four hours working on each piece — not including letting it sit, firing or letting it dry.

She recently created a batch of bottles with handles and spouts.

“I never make these, so I just wanted to make a few

pieces I don’t usually make to start off the year with some fun,” she said.

While Eccleston appreci-ates her time alone at work — she said if people don’t energize her, they suck her energy and she needs time alone to recharge — being a visual artist can be a “very lonely existence.”

“People distract you when they’re in the room, so you have to spend a lot of hours working on your own,” she said.

To balance that seclusion, she FaceTimes with family while she works, propping an iPad up on the counter, or lis-tens to music and podcasts.

Also keeping her com-pany these days is Fred, a resin-built anatomically cor-rect skeleton she recently purchased for reference purposes while experiment-ing with adding full skeletons onto her work.

“I’m really enjoying pair-

ing the bones and the skulls with all of the organic motifs,” Eccleston said.

She hopes to bring to her new, lighter wheel to Riverside Park this summer to do demonstrations during Canada Day celebrations.

She’ll continue her online shop on Etsy, despite it being a bit more difficult to sell ceramics on the web.

“People like to feel them before they buy,” she said.

Finally, Eccleston hopes to continue growing as an art-ist. She wants to experiment with glazing techniques she learned in a sculpture class last year.

She’s submitting one of the pieces, called Burlesque, she had created in that workshop for the Arts Council’s upcom-ing Art Exposed exhibit, but will also submit a wearable costume she designed for a cartoon character from the show ReBoot.

“I really enjoy breaking apart from the mediocre and doing things I don’t regularly do,” Eccleston said.

“It always changes my regular work.”

For more on Eccleston, go online to claychimera.ca.

From B1 “I just wanted to make a few pieces I don’t usually make to start off the year with some fun.”

— AMANDA ECCLESTON

Eccleston shows no sign of slowing down in 2016

These ceramic pieces — a teapot and two mugs —are part of Amanda Eccleston’s signature style and what her Thompson Rivers University professor encouraged her to go further with: “organic and frilly things.”Eccleston’s website describes her work as evoking the serenity of the ocean. “Leaf-like waves envelope the pots while spirals, pods and barnacles spray from the water.”

It’s safe to say most of us haven’t kept up with the work-outs Dayana Rescigno

assigned us this time last year.

I’m guessing the boot camp and barre classes she put us through are what turned away the likes of Marty Hastings and Tim Petruk.

But, for the rest of us, Kamloops This Week’s Press Time team is back competing in the YMCA-YWCA Strong Kids Challenge.

Despite having a powerhouse social media team last year and taking home an award for our sweaty tweets, we have rebuilt.

First, we have a new trainer. Marlene Hibbs may not work in the KTDubz office like Dayana, but she appears to be just as

on the ball, having cus-tomized exercise plans for each of us and even encouraging us to wear superhero outfits to our team photo.

Sorry, Marlene, but no.

Next up, we have Serena Platzer, who has been training for years in KTW’s circulation

department, whipping paperboys and paper-girls into shape.

Sweetheart sales lady Linda Skelly has taken out insurance for her commitment to the team by joining forces with a partner outside of Press Time to keep herself on track and accountable.

Then, there’s Tara Holmes, the leader of our group.

Some of you might be thinking we chose Tara to lead because she’s the loudest and most connected person on the team.

But, you’d be wrong.We chose her

because she has had a personal vendetta — a competitive killer instinct — ever since KTW publisher Kelly Hall jumped over to another team this year.

He says he did it

to allow more KTW employees to partici-pate.

But mark our words, Kelly, with Tara’s laugh taking a much eviler tone “muah ah ahhh” when echoing through the walls on Dalhousie Drive — this means war.

We’ll miss Nevin Webster this year — we’ll have to embrace our shortcomings without a scapegoat — but two-year Press Time veterans Adam Williams, Jessica

Klymchuk and myself are hoping to pick up the slack.

While Klym is in fine form from winter wine glass aerobics, Adam is hot off the completion of a 30-day January fit-ness challenge.

I’m hoping to land somewhere in between — maybe a glass of wine after a workout kind of deal.

Whatever the case, we’re all in it together.

It’s easy to get com-petitive when setting fitness goals — beyond Kelly, I’m calling out Raffelina Sirianni and Chad Harris to bring the heat this year — but it all comes down to fundraising and awareness.

The goal of the campaign is to raise $100,000 between Feb. 15 and March 14 to help 1,000 kids par-ticipate in healthy pro-gramming at the Y.

That includes things like gym memberships and swimming lessons but also sending kids to camp. All of the funds

will stay in our com-munity.

Press Time is tasked with raising $1,500 and we’re ready to work for that money, raffling concert tickets and a swanky hotel pack-age, thanks to the folks down at DoubleTree by Hilton, and with the return of our car wash.

Weather permitting, we’re scheduling it for March 5 at City Centre Auto Service, at 963 Victoria St., and we will do our best (no prom-ises) to actually clean the vehicles properly this year.

Mark your calendar and we’ll tell you more about it later in the challenge. We’ll also provide some updates along the way about our strengths and struggles.

For now, follow along with us and the rest of campaign on social media using the hashtag #skchallenge.

Purity Farm and Garden will be buzz-ing this

weekend when it hosts a pair of packed semi-nars on backyard bees and chickens.

While the garden centre has been hold-ing educational semi-nars for more than five years, last year’s bee-keeping workshop was a first.

“It was fantastic,” manager Danica Wilkinson said. “We were at about 80 people.”

Wilkinson said beginner beekeepers were keen to learn the ABC’s of setting up a hive and producing honey.

In its second year,

about 120 people have already registered for Saturday’s session, Home Hive Basics, which will be preceded by Raising a Small Flock on backyard chickens.

In 2014, Kamloops city council amended animal control bylaws to allow beekeeping in single and two-family residential zones.

A minimum size of 370 square meters is required and it is not permitted in strata developments or com-mercial and industrial areas.

Wilkinson said the average city lot, depending on size, is legally allowed two

beehives and she said there are misconcep-tions about the docile creatures.

“Bees are not wasps,” she said.

“People will get very confused. Wasps are attracted to human food. Bees are not attracted to that.

“They’re attracted to the pollen in flow-ers, sugars in flowers. If they come around humans, that means they have no other food around.”

According to the B.C. Ministry of Agriculture, beekeep-ing plays a key role in the production of fruit and forage crops.

Wilkinson said it

costs between $400 and $900 all-in to get a hive started in the first year, which can yield between 30 to 50 pounds of honey.

They run about $100 to maintain annually and can pro-duce up to 120 pounds of honey in subsequent years, depending on the season and how much time and space is committed.

“It’s sort of the per-fect hobby,” Wilkinson said. “You can produce as much honey as you want.”

Backyard chickens, on the other hand, are not allowed under city bylaws — though a plan for urban chick-

ens is in the works — but they are permitted in rural areas.

“There’s a ton of backyard chickens

within the TNRD,” Wilkinson said.

Is there a time when Kamloopsians could see the birds and the

bees in one backyard?“Absolutely,”

Wilkinson said. “Chickens keep

away a lot of the bugs that would attack the bees . . . they work really well together.”

Those wishing to learn more about bee-keeping or backyard chickens can drop by Purity Feed, at 471 Okanagan Way or call 250-372-2233.

The store will pre-order bee colonies and chickens this month.

The Kamloops Beekeepers Club also holds beekeeping courses and welcomes new members on an ongoing basis. It can be found online at kamloopsbeekeepers.com.

DRIVEWAYKAMLOOPS’ NO. 1 AUTO-BUYERS’ GUIDE

ADVERTISING CONSULTANT: DON LEVASSEUR

778-471-7530

It would be no more than an unimagi-native statement of the obvious to describe the all-new 2016 Toyota

Prius, as a gas/electric hybrid-powered car.

Obvious, perhaps, because since its launch back in 1997, its name-plate has only ever been offered with a hybrid power unit.

Clever marketing ensured Prius became

synonymous with green driving and the badge showed owners were envi-ronmentally conscious.

Since then, Toyota has sold more than 3.5-million Prius models largely on the strength of that green cred.

No surprise that the fourth-generation model is a hybrid, but placing the emphasis on that fact is totally inadequate and undersells its other attri-butes.

The Japanese giant has not abandoned the trum-peting of the car’s green nature, but it’s much more

low key in its new market-ing campaign.

Instead, Toyota is try-ing to persuade potential buyers that this new ver-sion is ready to compete in the mainstream against conventional gas-powered sedans based on price, performance, technology, safety and, yes, looks.

Let’s get the latter point out of the way, right away.

It has never been a looker — but with its new sleek, lower stance, it is as close to sporty as you are likely to get in a Prius.

It appears, to these eyes, that red livery gives

it a sharpest appearance, but blue looks good, too.

I am less enthused about paler renderings.

Toyota Canada vice-president Stephen Beatty said the brand wants to “break the cycle of psy-chology about gas prices fuelling hybrid sales.”

At the risk of incurring the wrath of the Toyota marketing department — not that it would bother me — that’s going to be a tough sell.

Nothing obvious about all-new Toyota PriusEmphasis on ‘hybrid’ underselling fourth-generation attributes

KEITH MORGAN DRIVEWAY CANADAdrivewaycanada.ca

See PRICE, B8

The Toyota Prius has never been a looker, but the 2016 model comes with a sleek, lower stance, which is about as close to

sporty as it gets with the hybrid.

SIZE PRICE


The 2016 edition achieves still more fuel-economy gains and that will continue as a purchase persuader.

And the price is right, an equal driver of sales in my opinion: three trims starting at $25,995, which is $300 less than the outgoing third-generation model.

Opening the doors reveals some things don’t change.

As is the norm, the instru-ment panel is in the centre, which always takes me a few drives to get used to.

What is different is the arrangement of the info screens, all the stuff you need to pilot

safely features on a pair of side-by-side LED screens, which essentially form a single display, and that sits neatly above a larg-er infotainment screen separated by the heating vents.

The base console is an unin-spiring black plastic, but it’s replaced by an off-white colour on the other trims.

That might take time to grow on me.

The enlarged platform, smaller batteries and reconfigu-ration of where they sit, behind and under the rear seat trans-lates into much more cabin room and a more comfy rear seat ride. (Incidentally, the base model keeps the nickel-metal-hydride units, whereas

the top trim with a technology package used the lithium-ion battery.)

The Toyota Safety Sense sys-tem will be available on all but the base model: Pre-collision system, lane departure alert, automatic high beams and dynamic radar cruise control.

A technology package will add blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert, full-colour heads up display, an intelligent parking and warning system with 12 sonar sensors positioned around the vehicle.

This will give the driver the opportunity to park — parallel or perpendicular — without laying a hand on the steering wheel.

That’s what an additional $590

gets you, along with heated front seats.

Even the most loaded editions barely pass $33,000.

Promise I’ll get behind that wheel soon.

The new Prius uses a revised version of Toyota’s 1.8-litre-Atkinson cycle engine. The official fuel-economy numbers are not out yet, but internal test-ing revealed a fuel efficiency of 4.5L/100KM (city/highway com-bined).

The launch drive in Vancouver suggested the 4.5 number is far from being a dream.

Okay, we’re off. Normal and Power driving

modes suggest this actually might be a fun drive.

Normal errs on the side of economy-optimized perfor-mance. Power packs some fun into the Prius, without serious compromising fuel economy.

The car is a gem in the city, as you would expect, and spirited on the highway, especially when the Power mode is selected.

To be fair, I didn’t feel the need to explore my inner Boy Racer too many times.

Looking forward to spend-ing a week in the car when I can truly put it to the test in real-world conditions.
